BMW E92 M3 Service Reset Tools & Fault Code Readers

Fault Code Readers and Diagnostic Scanners put the power of the dealership in your hands. The Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light means something! It's alerting you to a potential problem and a fault code has been stored in the car's internal diagnostic system. You can take the car to the dealer and have the code pulled for you (for a one-time fee) or you can buy one of these code readers and check the trouble code yourself (and any other code that may come up in the future). These diagnostic tools pay for themselves. They are a must for the DIYer or any mechanic. These tools can read and reset trouble codes and reset your maintenance interval settings. A separate tool can also be used to reset the SRS system (separate from the engine diagnostic system). Peake Reset Tools come with a booklet containing instructions and a list of codes.

For newer cars we also sell multi-function scan tools, gauges, and programmers. Reading and resetting Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are some of the many functions that these handheld and dash-mounted accessories perform. These are the next generation of 'smart' programmers capable of loading new versions of engine software, recording and playback of data, and timing meters.

The P3Cars Vent Integrated Digital Interface (vidi) is the data display you've always wanted. It simply plugs in to the OBD communication port - no modifications or re-wiring needed at all! Pop out your stock air vent, run the data cables through the dash, reinstall the vent with the new display and you're done! The P3 gauge reads and interprets data available from the OBD port and displays it in realtime. Data that was previously only available with advanced factory diagnostic tools is now literally at your fingertips. On newer models BMW took away gauges and information displays and now you can get that information back! Use the data stream to evaluate your engine performance, acceleration and braking improvements from modifications, cooling system performance, battery condition, and more. Use the data to spot signs of trouble before it's too late. You can record and play back 15 seconds of data for analysis. It also works as a diagnostic trouble code display and has a clear function for resetting the codes. Auxiliary inputs also included so you can read actual boost on supercharged or turbo engines (t-connector and vacuum line included). This makes it the perfect companion to JB or other piggyback modules so you can display the actual boost instead of reading the incorrect value from the OBD port.

The whole kit is installed in the original left-side air vent housing. You can order it two ways - the basic display for a DIY install in your original vent (easy!) or pre-installed in a new OE BMW vent (easier!). Wit the cables and hardware tucked away behind the dash there is no trace of the P3 gauge's aftermarket installation. It's so well-integrated that it looks like a factory BMW part! It's color-matched to your existing gauges and has a dimmer feature. The entire kit is totally reversible. The P3 uses the car's existing OBD communication port, which is the same one used by dealerships, shops, and state inspection stations so just unplug the connector when access to the OBD port is required.

Analog Features. The P3 gauge is equipped with three analog inputs which allows you to add other sensors and more data. For instance, if you wanted to display Air/Fuel readings you can use an analog line to your AFR wideband sensor in the exhaust. Or fluid temps from the transmission, differential, etc. You can also read before/after intercooler temps or just about anything else you can imagine. The P3 gauge becomes your own custom dash just like a race car. Additional parts and gauge configuration will be required when using any analog inputs. The P3 wiring works with any analog 0-5V sensor which is the standard among universal sensors.

30-day Money Back Guarantee - if you're not in love with the P3 gauge like we are, send it back for a full refund (less shipping costs) One year warranty - covers you from defects for one year

The GT80 PLUS by Schwaben is extremely easy to set up and even easier to use. It features a genuine Windows 8.1 operating system, Intel quad-core processor and a 10.1” LED capacitive touch display – making it your fastest, easiest solution to attaining valuable data.

This scan tool offers an amazing UI experience, giving users the ability to update with one touch, and easily navigate through menus. With the diagnostic tool connected to the vehicle’s OBD port, it automatically retrieves the VIN code. Additionally, you can manually enter the VIN to identify the model you are working on.

GT80 PLUS automatically checks and recognizes all available electronic control units on a vehicle in a matter of seconds. In addition, it instantly displays all the errors detected on the vehicle, and allows errors to be viewed and cleared with just a single click.

● Support the most commonly required service features like brake deactivation, service resets, and transmission adaptations

● Multi-language menus and code definitions for an international marketplace

● Code troubleshooters provide you faster and easier diagnosis

GT80 PLUS Features Actuations, Adaptations and Control Module Coding

GT80 PLUS cannot only read your codes, but it can also actuate components, run system tests, program control modules. Reading the trouble codes from your vehicle is easy. But without live data, bi-directional controls and other special functions, you may not have enough information to get the problem fixed right. It allows you to use the scan tool temporarily activate or control a vehicle system or component. With GT80 PLUS, the check of electronic components such as switches, sensors, relays, & actuators is made a simple task, saving your time and labor costs. It gives you the ability to ‘flash’ a control unit with new program data. Provided that a module can be re-coded, GT80 PLUS allows for the coding and programing of a replacement control module or changing previously stored incorrect coding as expensive factory tools do. In addition, it lets you recode the transponder in a mechanical key or key FOB. When a key for a modern vehicle is replaced, the new unit will often turn the mechanical switch but fail to initialize the system or start the vehicle. If this occurs, it is typically because the transponder inside the key has not been coded to that particular system.

With these factory tool like functions, GT80 PLUS is an invaluable tool that allows you to perform complicated repairs faster and easier, boosting your bottom line and customer satisfaction.

GT80 PLUS shows live vehicle sensors data in text, graph and gauge format and allows you to focus on any suspicious or symptom-specific data parameters. It’s powerful graphing capability gives you the ‘real picture’ of what’s going on in the vehicle. You can view up to 4 parameter graphs simultaneously. Still you can merge multiple PID plots into one coordinate, so you can easily see how they affect each other, providing you with the most comprehensive and functional look at live data possible.

This is the new and latest version of this well-known BMW fault code reading tool. BMW owners should have a great interest in this tool. Your BMW's Check Engine light (or "Service Engine Soon" light) can mean any number of things. Sometimes it's alerting you to the real need for a repair, but very often it is merely indicating one of the many, simple (top off your coolant) type problems. Also resets Check Engine, Service and Oil Change indicator dashboard lights. Easy to use and includes a booklet containing the fault code chart and instructions for use.

Compact and simple

Very easy to use

Read and reset DTC fault codes

Better fault descriptions than generic code tools

The Peake OBD code tool is compatible with nearly all 2001-2007 models. In mid-2007 BMW switched to the Condition Based Service program (CBS) and the Peake tool is not compatible with it. If you're not sure if your 2007 model has CBS there are a few ways to tell - CBS has much more detailed service reminders in the iDrive (instead of "inspection due" it will tell you which items need service, fluids, belts, brakes, etc), and you can manually check the OBD port under the dash. If pin 7 is empty you have the CBS system.

The BMW Service Engine Soon (aka Check Engine Light) has thousands of different meanings. Everything from low coolant messages, engine misfires, transmission temperatures, light bulb failures, brake pad replacement, and so much more. The sophisticated electronics are throughout the car. Isn't it time for a BMW scan tool that can keep up with all of your DIY needs? We think we've found the one - the DIY BMW diagnostic tool that trumps them all. The Schwaben BMW scan tool.

Not all diagnostic scan tools are the same. The cheap ones you find at catalog outlet stores are generic and give you generic information (sometimes not even that). BMW actually has very specialized diagnostic systems that they only share with dealers. The factory diagnostic tools require specialized programs on dedicated laptops that are a pain for the average DIYer to set up and use. The Schwaben BMW diagnostic tool is designed specifically for BMW and MINI. It's not generic and packs some serious features in its small case. We've used this in our service department and were very impressed with the depth of its capabilities. It has features that only the factory ISTA/INPA programs have. Below is a partial list of its prime features -

*Certain functions may be limited due to the requirement of a special factory access code or tools. While versatile, this scan tool covers a wide range of BMW models and platforms and it cannot be a catch-all tool for every job. Some functions may not be available but will be reviewed in future updates.

Note: Microsoft PC required for updates. You will need to register your scan tool in order to receive update notices via e-mail.

This ICOM unit is designed to work with BMWs using an OBDII connection, and works with ISTA and ISTA/P. It's compatible with ISPI Next and BMW OSS (Online Service System). This unit will connect to your computer, ISSS, or ISID with the included network connector or over WiFi. For vehicles that use the MOST connector, an ICOM Next B unit will be needes, and ICOM Next C is used for vehicles with the 20-pin connector.

If you have ever wished the OBD plug was easier to access this is the product for you! P3 Cars developed this extension harness for use with their wonderful P3 Gauges but it serves other purposes too. The main feature is the low profile plug that is connected to the car's factory OBD port (by the driver's ankle or knee). With the P3 Gauge or other OBD tools the plug can be large and bulky which can interfere with installation or un-plugging the unit. In some cases the installation requires you to modify the cover for the OBD port for a seamless install. But with the slim design of the P3 extension harness it fits out of sight in almost every application.

The second great feature is that you can now plug into the OBD port from almost anywhere around the car. One complaint most people have is the OBD socket is hidden or awkward to plug anything into. With 2 feet of extension you can now mount the new socket in a more convenient location - higher on the dash, the center console, even under the hood (on some models)! The new location is completely customizable. Tuners and service techs who use multiple plug-in OBD tools really love this harness because they no longer have to crawl around the interior over and over.

This extension harness works on all OBD-II vehicles, including non-BMW cars and trucks.
